New Start-Up Creates Co-Working Space for Cannabis Growers

If you are planning on becoming a cannabis
entrepreneur in Florida, a new start-up will soon offer you a special
place for co-working and co-growing. Understanding the opportunities
of the rapidly growing cannabis market, Podwerks
decided to provide business solutions for people who want to
cultivate marijuana without huge investments.

According to the project's co-founders Frank Yglesias
and Matt Arnett, the start-up will offer individuals spaces for
growing weed as well as create a special atmosphere for education,
marketing, and sale of cannabis-related products.

The company will provide specially developed zones
that include steel shipping containers equipped with climate control,
hydroponic grow equipment, and lights; there will also be stations
for seedings, clones, and curling.

Besides, the project will also consist of separate
working zones, where the founders are planning to arrange
cannabis-related education for future entrepreneurs. Podwerks members
will have a unique opportunity to visit a series of professional and
social events. There they will be able to listen to the industry
leaders, connect with investors, and establish a strong community.

The idea of providing weed entrepreneurs with a
cooperative grow area and workspace is the first in the cannabis
industry. However, other companies have already offered shipping
containers, so it is now an industry trend. For instance, PharmPods
creates growing containers for marijuana cultivation, but a forty
thousand dollar container is not affordable for all growers. In
contrast, Podwerks can provide their members with a 40-foot
cultivation space for a monthly payment of $8,500.

If this price is still high for you, the start-up has
cheaper options of smaller spaces. Thus, the lowest price for the
project membership is $750 per month. It will provide you with a
five-square-foot cultivation space.

In addition to growing containers and working space,
Podwerks will also include bathrooms, cafes, and places for selling
marijuana-related products.

Podwerks in Florida will be a pilot project that is
also aimed to provide opportunities for local governments to educate
cannabis growers on how to comply with local marijuana regulations.
The project founders believe that their start-up will provide
distribution oversight that will eliminate the black market.

If the project becomes successful in Florida, Matt
and Frank are going to launch similar innovative workspaces in seven
more states with legal marijuana: Massachusetts,
California, Washington, Colorado, Maine, Oregon, and Michigan.

Two Florida Universities to Grow Hemp for Research

The cannabis industry remains one of the most rapidly growing fields in the United States. With more and more states legalizing marijuana, numerous universities are beginning to launch studies on the plant’s miraculous properties. And Florida is not an exception to the rule.

When it comes to treating marijuana as if it was wine, most people think about the legal background. In California, there was even an initiative called the Regulate Marijuana Like Wine Act of 2012, which offered to regulate all marijuana-related activities similarly to those of wine industry.
